We're incredibly lucky to have access to some of the very best dermatologists, makeup artists and hair experts in the business at R29. Sitting down with them for as little as five minutes often means we come away with a nugget of wisdom that has the ability to completely change the way we apply makeup, care for our skin or style our lengths.

This year has been no different. We've learned how to treat acne scars safely, how to improve the condition of our hair in next to no time and how to fashion a pair of Instagram-worthy eyebrows, all thanks to industry pros like Val Garland, Guido Palau and Dr Anjali Mahto.

Ahead, you'll find our roundup of the very best advice we were given in 2018. You might want to bookmark this page...
